Ted, But most scientists agree that sexual preference is determined by DNA.

I've seen a scientific report that states we're all genetically bisexual to various degrees. I've also seen reports on how genes can be turned on and off based on what we choose to condition in our physical bodies.

Both of those reports lead me to the conclusion that sexual preference is indeed a choice. Genetics only influences that choice, but by no means do I believe we're genetically predestined in one way or another.

How can you outlaw homosexuality? Again, its not a choice. People choose to commit adultery; to my knowledge, people do not choose to be gay.

You wouldn't outlaw homosexuality, you would outlaw homosexual sex. Outlawing homosexuality would be like outlawing desiring an adulterous relationship even if such desire was never consummated.

I would be an opponent of outlawing homosexuality, homosexual activity, adultery, or lusting after an adulterous relationship. In all of those cases the state should but out.
